I have read (and enjoyed) many books by Shanna Hatfield and was pleasantly surprised to find that the voice in this book was quite different from her other books. Not only was the setting entirely different, taking place in the South instead of Oregon, but the overall feel. Ms. Hatfield did a fantastic job.
The story was delightful. It was so much fun that the names of the characters were plays on names and places in Gone with the Wind.
I loved that Brett was constantly rescuing Tara. From rescuing her when she ended up in the wrong part of town, to dressing as a Southern Gentleman from the 1800s to rescue her from what could have been an overly long interview with the guests. . .
